Although there have been wide range of studies to characterize forest stands based upon spectral information of satellite image, it was not fully understood the texture information of forest stand using high resolution data. The objective of this study is to evaluate several texture measures for characterizing forest stand structure, such as species composition, diameter at breast height(DBH), stand density, and age. High resolution IKONOS satellite imagery data were acquired in August 200 lover the forested area near Ulsan, Korea. Primary forest types were plantation pine, mixed forest, and natural deciduous forest of stand age ranging from 10 to 50 years old. Several GLCM-based texture measures were compared with forest stand characteristics. In overall, a texture measure (contrast) calculated using red band were better to differentiate species and age group than other texture measures and near infrared bands.

The quality characteristics of Korean rice cakes (Karedduk) with a mixture of maltooligosaccharide and OSA (octenyl succinic acid starch) added, after 2 and 24 hr of storage at $5^{\circ}C$, was analyzed. A central composite design was used for arrangement of treatment. The two independent variables selected for retarding retrogradation analysis were amounts of maltooligosaccharide (x) and OSA (y). Maltooligosaccharide was added at 0, 3, 6, 9, and 12% levels, and OSA added at 0, 0.3, 0.6, 0.9, and 1.2% levels, to dry rice flour. The texture properties analysis using a Texture Analyzer revealed that the springiness and cohesiveness (p<0.01), chewiness, gumminess and hardness (p<0.001) were significantly different after 24 hr of storage at $5^{\circ}C$. The effect of retarding retrogradation of Korean rice cakes with added mixtures of maltooligosaccharide and OSA showed an increasing trend as the amount of maltooligosaccharide increased. Overall, the instrumental texture properties were highly correlated with the sensory characteristics. These results suggest that adding a mixture of 6% maltooligosaccharide and 0.6% OSA to Korean rice cakes (Karedduk) is effective for retarding retrogradation.

To investigate the effect of storage humidity on the textural characteristics of crackers, their crispness and tenderness were measured by sensory and instrumental methods. Domestic cracker samples stored for 1 and 3 weeks at 4 different relative humidities of 23, 31, 51 and 79% showed the decrease in crispness intensity as the humidity increased while storage period did not affect their textural characteristics. When domestic and imported cracker samples were stored for 1 and 3 weeks at relative humidities of 31% and 79%, there was no significant difference in their textural characteristics.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of soybean varieties on the physicochemical and sensory characteristics tofu. Five varieties of soybeans(Daewon, Jinpoung, Hwanggum, Jinmi, and Manni) were selected for these experiments. Proximate composition and total phenolic acids in the soybeans, and the moisture, turbidity, lightness, yield rate, texture characteristics, and sensory characteristics of the tofu were measured. The Hwanggum soybeans had the highest levels of crude lipid and crude ash. There was a significant difference in the moisture and yield rate of the tofu(p<0.05). The crude protein and crude lipid contents of the soybeans affected the hardness and springiness of the tofu. In sensory evaluations, significant differences(p<0.05) were shown in taste, texture, and overall acceptability depending on the tofu by soybean variety. Therefore, one should consider soybean varieties when manufacturing tofu.

The purpose of this study was to examine the evaluation of fabric characteristics on the drapability, texture image and preference of blouse fabrics, and to analyze the effects of the texture image, objective and subjective drapability on the preference. As specimen, silk and polyester fabrics were collected. 52 female subjects evaluated 16 specimens with semantic differential scale of 18 fabric image and 20 sensibility. Data were analyzed through factor analysis, pearson correlational coefficient using spss win 12.0. For the evaluation, structural characteristics such as fiber contents, weave type, weight and thickness were analyzed. The results were as follows: The evaluation results of objective and subjective drapability showed differences. Sensory image factors of blouse fabrics were 'surface smoothness', 'elasticity', 'weight' and 'flexibility'. Sensibility image factors were 'elegance', 'classic', 'characteristic' and 'mannish'. 'Elegance', 'classic' and 'characteristic' of sensibility images showed high correlation with 'surface smoothness' and 'elasticity' of sensory image, also 'mannish' of sensibility image showed significant correlation with 'weight' of sensory image. The significant fabric characteristics affecting objective drapability were density, weight, thickness. The significant texture image factors affecting objective drapability were 'weight', 'flexibility' of sensory image and 'elegance' of sensibility image. On the other hand, the significant factors affecting subjective drapability were thickness of fabric characteristics and 'elegance', 'characteristic', 'mannish' of sensibility images. 'Elegance', 'characteristic' and 'classic' of sensibility image, 'elasticity' of sensory image and subjective drapability affected on the purchase preference.

This study presents the dynamic characteristics of an impinging droplet on hydrophobic and hydrophilic surfaces with various texture area fractions. The flat surface was fabricated by using the drilling technique to make micro-meter hole-patterned surfaces, which shows hydrophobic textured surfaces. Moreover, the hydrophilic textured surfaces were manufactured by anodizing technique on the micro-meter hole-patterned surfaces to generate multi-layer surfaces. Impinging droplet experiments were conducted for various hole-patterned surfaces, with changing impact velocity and texture area fractions. It is observed that an anodizing technique increases wettability by decrease in hole diameter on the textured surfaces. However, micro-drilled surfaces decreases wettability because the hole diameter was so large that air can be trapped under the holes. In addition, the maximum spreading diameter decreases with the texture area fraction for the micro-drilled surfaces because of decrease in wettability.

Purpose: The net rind pattern and color of melon surface are important for a high market value of melon fruits. The development of the net and color are closely related to the changes in shape, size, and maturing. Therefore, the net and color characteristics can be used indicators for assessment of melon quality. The goal of this study was to investigate the possibility of estimating melon soluble solids content (SSC) and firmness by analyzing the net and color characteristics of fruit surface. Methods: The true color images of melon surface obtained at fruit equator were analyzed with 18 color features and 9 texture features. The partial least squares (PLS) method was used to estimate SSC and firmness in melons using their color and texture features. Results: In sensing melon SSC, the coefficients of determination of validation (${R_v}^2$) of the prediction models using the color and texture features were 0.84 (root mean square error of validation, RMSEV: 1.92 $^{\circ}Brix$) and 0.96 (RMSEV: 0.60 $^{\circ}Brix$), respectively. The ${R_v}^2$ values of the models for predicting melon firmness using the color and texture features were 0.64 (RMSEV: 4.62 N) and 0.79 (RMSEV: 2.99 N), respectively. Conclusions: In general, the texture features were more useful for estimating melon internal quality than the color features. However, to strengthen the usefulness of the color and texture features of melon surface for estimation of melon quality, additional experiments with more fruit samples need to be conducted.

This study was aimed to investigate the effects of visual texture on color emotion and to establish prediction models for color emotion by both physical color properties and visual texture characteristics. A variety of fabrics were printed by digital printer according to hue and tone combinations. Subjective sensation was evaluated in terms of visual texture for fabrics printed in gray whereas color emotion for those in chromatically printed. As results, fabric clusters by visual texture showed significant differences in color emotion factors and the differences were clearer for grayish tone fabrics. Prediction models for color emotion factors by both physical color properties and visual texture clusters were proposed as for all fabrics and grayish ones, respectively.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of the structural characteristics of men's suit fabrics on the texture image and the preference, and to analyze the relationship between the preference and the practical sales ratio. In addition, the texture images and the preference of fabric and jackets made of the same fabrics were compared. As specimen, jackets for men's suit of 2002' S/S and their fabrics were collected. Questionnaires composed of 22 sensibility related and 21 fabric image related adjectives were developed. For the subjective evaluation of the texture image, both jackets and fabric samples were tested. Tests were performed with 100 female subjects in clothing department and apparel industry. For the objective evaluation, structural characteristics such as fiber contents, yarn twist, fabric count, thickness and weight were analyzed. Total Hand Value were calculated from mechanical properties determined by the KES-FB system. Factor analysis showed sensibilities were classified into 6 categories; "surface roughness", "weight", "density", "stiffness", "elasticity" and "wetness". Fabric images were classified into 4 categories; "classic", "original", "practical", and "stuffy". Depending on the method to show the specimen to the subjects, whether it is suit or fabric, statistically significant differences were observed with a number of adjectives for sensibilities and fabric images. The results of THV of KES did not agree with the preference of subjects, which suggests that we should be careful when using the KES system, which was developed for Japanese people. Price was considered to be another factor besides the texture image that influenced on purchase.
